I am a bit confused. I haven't seen the usage of "likelihood" in setting
the probability of performing crossover/mutation. The following is what I
learned from the tutorials and what I continue using:
pop.subpop.0.species.pipe = ec.breed.MultiBreedingPipeline
# Koza's decision here was odd...
pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.generate-max = false
# Subsidiary pipelines:
pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.num-sources = 2
pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.0 = ec.gp.koza.CrossoverPipeline
pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.0.prob = 0.9
pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.1 = ec.breed.ReproductionPipeline
pop.subpop.0.species.pipe.source.1.prob = 0.1 I searched a little for the
parameter "likelihood", and this is what I found in class BreedingPipeline:
public static final java.lang.String *P_LIKELIHOOD*
Indicates the probability that the Breeding Pipeline will perform its
mutative action instead of just doing reproduction.
Not sure what this does, but I guess it is for normal EC and can be ignored
in a GP process. I could be totally wrong.
